Hey there!

This will only take a few seconds. They reset the Worldwide Top Sites for Genealogy again. If you click on the following link, Worldwide Top Sites, you can vote for ShoeStringGenealogy.com, my free genealogy website. Just click on the underlined link on the window that appears.

I'd greatly appreciate it, and it will help put ShoeString in the top ten, thus enabling more people to visit and…

There are many expensive hobbies, genealogy included. I developed my web site, http://ShoeStringGenealogy.com, to help others (and me!) to find less expensive ways to research our family. Online resources are becoming more abundant, but they are not the only ones -- nor should they be -- that you should use.
I have a floating menu on the left that will get you access to… Continue

Dae, by any chance do your ADAMS hail from Maryland? I am working on ADAMS who resided in Baltimore County beginning about 1650. I have not ascertained where they could have migrated to in the 1800's as my present focus is Baltimore history up until about 1812.

Dae Dahling! I was reading your weekly newsletter and as I always do - I click over to visit your website to catch up on news.

I was thrilled when I happened to spy with my little eye my blog badge! I had no idea you actually read my blog??? Coming from you sir, this is an honor. I don't know if you noticed, but I do show up to your chats. Yes, lurking but still find them full of all kinds of useful information.

I just wanted to say thank you. I am going to go now. At the rate my head is inflating it is possible I may not make it thru the doorway!

Thanks Dae for the invite. My cousin Ellen mentioned the chat to me and just as i was about to sign on i got a phone call - i hopped on long enough to see her saying goodnight - i'll be back - thanks again ~

Hi Dae,
Thanks for being my first friend. I have a lot of relatives in Texas. My great-grandfathers brother left Georgia in the 1850's and took his family with him. The last name was Ballew. Have a nice day Cindy

This is kind of wierd, but it was thought that maybe his dad was Ruben Moren, and maybe Ruben's dad was Abner Moren. They had slaves and it shows a part where Ruben Moren had a women and two little kids black 40 women, and two 4 year olds, later it looks like this women was his wife, in a census where they didn't bother to right the race down. This has really been concerning me, and I do not know how to find out. It looks like the kids were James and Joice Moren. I don't know how this could be, and I would like to know if there is another answer and if my ignorance is playing with me.
